The winter morning sun shines on the glass of the flower shop, and there is a layer of frost on the glass, which makes the already not strong sunlight lose another layer of heat.

The stove is lit in the house, and all kinds of flowers and plants are arranged in order.

A bicycle leaning against a wall.

Liu Xianglan had just had a long nightmare, and when she woke up, she looked at the roof with her eyes open.

Wang Xiaohong was still lying beside her, in a house in Qingshan County.

They are from the county, and they have been moving here for a year and a half.

It's been a year and a half, and her life has changed.

All kinds of nightmares are slowly fading away as Liu Xianglan wakes up.

In the end, she only vaguely remembered a lot of bizarre and specious things.

In the dream, in Xiaoshantun, the people of the Wang family were like evil ghosts in hell, trying to kill her and Wang Xiaohong...... In the dream, on the New Year, when thousands of homes were lit, she and Wang Xiaohong were buried by the collapse of the house and stoned to death......

In the dream, Ji Yuanhai disliked her bad luck and asked her not to contact her again in the future, and she threw herself into the river in despair; In the dream, the starving father and mother starved to death with her, saying that they didn't have to suffer anymore.

Liu Xianglan sighed softly and burst into tears inexplicably.

If you live this life, you have to endure so much hardship and not get so much.

"Mother?"

Tears slid down her cheeks, Liu Xianglan was not in the mood to wipe it, but suddenly heard Wang Xiaohong in her arms let out a soft scream, and quickly turned her head to wipe it with the corner of the quilt, and her voice was as normal.

"What's wrong?"

"Mother, you just cried." Wang Xiaohong whispered.

Liu Xianglan suddenly panicked, and hurriedly explained: "No! My mother woke up early, and I stayed up again last night to settle accounts, and my eyes hurt from tiredness. ”

"It's like looking at the sun, either crying or tired eyes."

"That'...... Mother, don't be so tired in the future. Wang Xiaohong said.

"Hey, okay, my mother won't be so tired in the future." Liu Xianglan agreed, and laughed again, "Red, the more you grow up, the more sensible you become!" I know that I feel sorry for my mother, and my mother doesn't hurt you in vain! ”

As he spoke, he hugged Wang Xiaohong tightly with a smile.

Wang Xiaohong hurriedly said: "Mother, your touch is too big, holding me!" ”

Liu Xianglan couldn't help laughing, stepped back a little, left her daughter a little breathing space, and said, "You grew up eating it, do you think it's big?" ”

Wang Xiaohong nodded: "I just feel uncomfortable being suffocated." ”

"Little Nizi......" Liu Xianglan laughed, and was about to say a few more words to Wang Xiaohong.

There was a sound of footsteps, followed by a knock on the door.

Liu Xianglan was a little surprised: There was a business so early?

"Wait a minute!" Liu Xianglan shouted to the door.

"Sister Liu!" Ji Yuanhai's voice came from the door, "We're back." ”

Liu Xianglan didn't know what was going on, and when she came back to her senses, she had already lifted the quilt and ran to the door barefoot.

Then he reacted, and hurriedly ran back to put on cotton pants and cotton jackets.

After putting on cotton pants and cotton jackets and opening the door, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling were surprised to see that Liu Xianglan's cotton jacket buttons were crooked twice, and her heart was white and facing the wind, and her feet were also stepping on the cold ground.

"Sister Liu, you...... Hurry up and put on your shoes and button up your clothes! Lu Heling reminded, "Don't worry. ”

Only then did Liu Xianglan realize that she had made a mistake in her busy life.

secretly scolded himself for being shameless, and when he heard Ji Yuanhai, he panicked like a dog wagging his tail, but his eyes still couldn't help but look at Ji Yuanhai and couldn't stop looking at him.

I haven't seen him for half a year, Ji Yuanhai's nose is still so straight, his eyes are still so deep and bright, his lips are still so good-looking, and his cheeks are so good.

There is also a more knowledgeable appearance, which makes Liu Xianglan's heart feel more and more itchy when she sees it.

It's more beautiful than what I've dreamed of again and again in my dreams.

I went back to the bedside and put on my shoes, buttoned them, and dressed Wang Xiaohong.

When buttoning Wang Xiaohong's cotton clothes, she didn't button them a few times in a row, Wang Xiaohong glanced down at Liu Xianglan's hand and said, "Mother, your hands are shaking." ”

Liu Xianglan was suddenly a little surprised, she was so embarrassed in her heart, but she finally reluctantly suppressed her excitement.

Lu Heling glanced at Ji Yuanhai: See, Sister Liu thinks about what you think!

Ji Yuanhai nodded.

Lu Heling smiled at him again, slightly raising her eyebrows slightly sly.

This kind of appearance is rarely seen in Ji Yuanhai, and he can't help but be slightly stunned.

Lu Heling, this is telling me, what does she seem to think? No way? What could she think?

When Liu Xianglan was busy, she got up and folded the quilt, put a new piece of honeycomb coal in the stove, and asked Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling when they would come back.

Knowing that they had just gotten off the train and hadn't had time to eat, they hurriedly rode their bicycles out again and bought steamed buns, fritters, and tofu brains.

The four of them sat at the table, eating breakfast and talking.

Or the chicken soup and tofu brain Ji Yuanhai in the county seat drank it a little smoother, plus it was true that I didn't eat anything along the way, and I finished eating it unconsciously.

talked about going to school, and also talked about making money, buying a house, buying a shop, and recognizing relatives after arriving in the provincial capital.

Hearing that Ji Yuanhai had bought a house and a shop in the provincial capital, he had a foothold, and now he had nine thousand yuan by his side, Liu Xianglan was overjoyed; Hearing Lu Heling's recognition of relatives and the return of her parents' spiritual throne was also a relief to Lu Hering.

Liu Xianglan also talked about the business situation in the past six months, because there was no Ji Yuanhai involved, the quality of flowers and plants was poor, and Liu Xianglan had to spend money to buy flowers and plants by herself, and there was more expenditure.

Therefore, the entire flower shop only earned 400 yuan in half a year, which was too far worse than when Ji Yuanhai was there.

When Liu Xianglan talked about this, she felt uneasy in her heart, and she was sorry for the foundation that Ji Yuanhai had so hard to stay.

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling didn't care - in this era, in a small county town, the income is already quite good. It would be strange if Liu Xianglan could continue the special situation when Ji Yuanhai was there.

The flower and grass money earned by the Era Sea is not something that others can copy.

As she spoke, Lu Heling suddenly talked about the Great Buddha Temple in the provincial capital.

The big Buddha temple in the provincial capital is an ancient temple with a long history, legend has it that several emperors came to the temple in person to burn incense and worship, and there are real Buddha relics, which are extremely effective, can ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings, and are auspicious in distress.

Ji Yuanhai listened, and said in his heart: Why don't I know? The last time I went to the Big Buddha Temple, He Ling didn't tell me about it.

Just thinking about it, when she turned her head to look, Liu Xianglan was shocked, nodded again and again, her eyes were full of envy, obviously persuaded by Lu Heling's description, and she thought so.

Ji Yuanhai was stunned for a moment, and then gradually suddenly, his heart was full of love and emotion for Lu Heling.

What a blessing for a good wife to be like this!

Next, just as Ji Yuanhai just figured it out.

After Lu Heling said how the Big Buddha Temple works, he said a few examples.

There used to be a rich man's daughter, how unlucky, after going to the Big Buddha Temple to ask for a magic weapon, how to live a happy life; There was also a scholar who was unlucky before, killed his father and mother at the age of seven, and was riddled with diseases since he was a child, and later went to the Big Buddha Temple to ask for a magic weapon, not only was he admitted to the lifting of people, but also became a county magistrate.

As soon as these examples are mentioned, the desire in Liu Xianglan's eyes is almost undisguised.

"It would be nice if the Big Buddha Temple was in our Qingshan County!"

If only I could ask for a magic weapon and get rid of the bad luck on my body, I would be unlucky—

This is a subconscious idea of Liu Xianglan.

"Actually, it's fine." Lu Heling opened her mouth and said, "Yuan Hai and I went to the Big Buddha Temple before, and we have already asked for four magic weapons to come back!" ”

Took Ji Yuanhai's hand and showed Liu Xianglan the rosary bracelet on his wrist.

took out three bracelets from the luggage, put one on himself, gave Wang Xiaohong a string, and handed Liu Xianglan a string.

"Sister Liu, these four magic vessels are all incense edification of the Big Buddha Temple, and they are specially recited thousands of times, praying for blessings and warding off evil spirits, eliminating disasters, and being auspicious in distress, the best magic weapons."

"Yuan Hai and I sincerely worship each other, and it is not easy to ask for it."

Lu Heling said this, smiling and looking at Ji Yuanhai.

She didn't see how shocked Ji Yuanhai was, but saw Ji Yuanhai smile at her and nod to Liu Xianglan cooperatively.

This made Lu Heling inevitably a little frustrated in his heart - he thought that Yuan Hai would not be able to guess it this time, but it turned out that he had already guessed!

Liu Xianglan has always known that Ji Yuanhai has a lot of eyes, and she never thought that the weak and quiet Lu Heling would also say serious words to coax her, so when she heard these words, she was convinced.

Although most of what Lu Heling said was true, she didn't actually believe in any such thing as praying for blessings.

It's just that now in order to make Liu Xianglan believe and cross the barrier in her heart, Lu Heling said "convinced" and "conclusive".

With trembling palms and taking over this "magic weapon", Liu Xianglan only felt a breath in her heart for a long time. And they all came out at once.

With it, I don't have to worry about it anymore!

I can rest assured that I can support my children to grow up, and I can feel at ease with lotus ling.

You can more—

Liu Xianglan put on a rosary, chanted Amitabha Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva in her mouth again and again, and then looked at Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling with shyness and joy.

Lu Heling didn't seem to see anything, put her luggage aside, looked at the flower shop, and said with emotion: "Sister Liu, you have also worked hard." ”

Liu Xianglan said: "What kind of hard work am I? It's much better than when I was in the production team! It's all because of your care that Xiaohong and I have a good life today! ”

Lu Heling smiled and said two more words, Liu Xianglan said that she wanted to give the money to Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling.

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling hurriedly refused.

Selling two pots of flowers in the provincial capital can earn back this money, and they really don't need it.

Liu Xianglan took the money to continue to run the shop and improve her life, which is also a more meaningful thing.

Liu Xianglan couldn't help but wipe her tears with emotion - in this way, isn't everything in the whole shop really given to herself?

"That's right," Lu Heling changed the topic in order to prevent Liu Xianglan from continuing to cry like this, "Yuanhai, we don't have much time to come back for the New Year, we have to go back to Xiaoshantun this afternoon, and we have to go back to the provincial capital on the sixth day of the new year." ”

As soon as she heard this, Liu Xianglan really stopped crying, and the reluctance in her heart suddenly took over.

"It's only been ten days? You're leaving in more than ten days? ”

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "There are many rich people in the provincial capital, I will go back to buy and sell flowers and plants, and I can earn two or three thousand yuan." ”

"Staying at home for the New Year, in fact, is only a few days fresh, and it doesn't make much sense to stay for a long time."

Liu Xianglan secretly said in her heart: Could it be that after today's separation, you will have to wait until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year to see Yuan Hai once? And then another half a year?

If so...... I......

Lu Heling looked at Wang Xiaohong at this time: "Xiaohong, do you want to think about Aunt Heling?" ”

"Think! I miss Uncle Yuanhai too! Wang Xiaohong said with a smile.

"This kid is just smart and cute! Let's go, Auntie will take you around the county and buy New Year's goods! What do you want? Lu Heling asked.

Wang Xiaohong shook her head, very sensible, and said that she didn't want anything.

Lu Heling smiled: "Then you can accompany your aunt to buy things." ”

"Okay!" Wang Xiaohong said.

Lu Heling took Wang Xiaohong's hand and said to Ji Yuanhai and Liu Xianglan: "Yuanhai, you help Sister Liu take a look at the flowers and plants, I will buy some things for the New Year, and we will have to buy New Year's gifts when we go back to our hometown." ”

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Okay, you can go." ”

Lu Heling took two steps, turned around and said, "By the way, we ate out at noon today." ”

After speaking, he led Wang Xiaohong out of the shop and took the door with him.

This last sentence and the closed door made Liu Xianglan's heart suddenly hot.

"How have you been in the past six months?" Ji Yuanhai asked her.

Liu Xianglan said: "Didn't you say it just now? Eat well, dress well, but don't make enough money for you. ”

Ji Yuanhai shook his head slightly: "I'm not talking about this, I'm saying, how are you doing." ”

"It's good, too."

As Liu Xianglan spoke, she peeked at Ji Yuanhai, endured a little throbbing in her heart, and added: "I just can't see you and Heling, and I feel uncomfortable in my heart." ”

"Oh, do you want me more, or more Lotus Ling?"

The door was also closed, and there was no one else, and Ji Yuanhai spoke to Liu Xianglan much more boldly.

Liu Xianglan was embarrassed to admit: "I still think about you too much." ”

As he spoke, his cheeks lowered.

Although she has done a lot of things a long time ago, although these words are from her heart, Liu Xianglan still can't help but feel like her face is on fire, and it gradually becomes hot.

In this way, Ji Yuanhai couldn't help it, and reached out to pinch her face.

Liu Xianglan took a look in a blink of an eye, and saw that the door of the shop was not plugged in, so she hurriedly went over and plugged in the door, and closed the curtains again, leaving no gaps.

After that, he took the initiative to approach Ji Yuanhai and put his arm around his waist.

"Yuanhai ......"

Ji Yuanhai hugged her and kissed her for a while, and asked, "Is there any water?" ”

"There's still cold water in the kettle." Liu Xianglan said.

"Bring me a basin and soap, I'll mix some water and scrub my body." Ji Yuanhai said.

Liu Xianglan understood something, showed an emotional smile to Ji Yuanhai, nodded and busily prepared.

The kettle was filled with cold water and placed on a honeycomb coal stove.

The water from the kettle and the cold water were slightly mixed, and the era sea got rid of his clothes and slowly scrubbed away the dust along the way.

Liu Xianglan took the soap, slowly put a slightly fragrant foam on his body, and felt the appearance of his beloved with his fingers, and his heart was already swaying and flying.

"Yuan Hai, I really miss you."

"I just feel like you won't be here one day...... I'm alive and there's no point in it......"

As she spoke, Liu Xianglan's eyes couldn't help but gradually fill with tears.

Ji Yuanhai wiped his body clean, turned around and bent over, and picked up Liu Xianglan.

The two were close and snuggled up to each other.

As before, Liu Xianglan served Ji Yuanhai first.

However, unlike before, this time Liu Xianglan was not busy cleaning up, but continued to hug Ji Yuanhai.

Her eyes looked at Ji Yuanhai's wrist and the magic weapon on her wrist, and gradually reassured.

"It turns out that with the blessing of the Great Buddha Temple, we will definitely be fine, right?"

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Of course it will be fine." ”

"Shall we ...... Will it be okay too? Liu Xianglan asked.

Ji Yuanhai nodded, his eyes fixed on her.

"Sister Liu, from today onwards, I will call you Xianglan."

Liu Xianglan was embarrassed and turned her face away: "Yuan Hai, I'm older than you." ”

Ji Yuanhai reached out and turned her face over.

"Xianglan, look at me."

Liu Xianglan looked at him with shame, only to feel the hot power pouring from his eyes into his heart.

"Yuan Hai...... Yes! ”

……………………………………………

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Heling came back with a lot of things, and even Wang Xiaohong grabbed a string of sugar gourds and carried two kinds of candy.

The windows of the flower shop are wide open, and they are being ventilated.

The futon was changed, and Ji Yuanhai also changed his clothes.

Liu Xianglan is radiant, her skin is moist, and she is indescribably moving.

Seeing this, Lu Heling also seemed to know nothing, put down some of the things she bought, and said goodbye to Liu Xianglan and Wang Xiaohong.

There is no bus from Qingshan County to Xiaoshantun, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling put most of their luggage here with Liu Xianglan, brought some change of clothes, money, and New Year's gifts, rode Liu Xianglan's bicycle, and returned to Xiaoshantun along the potholed yellow mud road along the way.

On the way, Ji Yuanhai specially thanked Lu Heling.

Lu Heling was curious to ask about Liu Xianglan's situation.

After Ji Yuanhai described it, Lu Heling was also surprised.

"It seems that only Yuan Hai can stand her...... Yuanhai, are you tired? ”

Ji Yuanhai laughed: "The remaining strength is still there." ”

After hearing this, Lu Heling couldn't help but reach out and pat him: "Why are you like this?" ”

"If that's the case, aren't we both enough?"

"Don't force it, just let it be." Ji Yuanhai said.

Lu Heling reached out and hit him again.

In the bumpy ride, the bicycle gradually approached the small hill.

In the fields, there are no groups of busy members...... Occasionally, the sound of firecrackers could be heard in the distance.

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling looked at the green winter wheat and the village composed of adobe houses, and they had a lot of emotions in their hearts for a while.

Half a year later...... It's back again.

returned to Ji Yuanhai's hometown, the place where Lu Heling went to the countryside, Xiaoshantun.

In this chapter, whether you should talk about it or not, I will add it when I have time.
